Good. We can all unclench our buttholes.
CDS is more than capable of holding down the fort for a few games or whatever.

By LA, huh?
Anyways, I'm confident in Clark will make the right calls here and have his goalies prepared. I want to see Silovs get some looks, honestly.
Yeah, hit a good spot for it to happen with only 2 games in the next 10 games and 1 game against a playoff team in the next 16 days. We should survive.
I would wait it out until Dallas. Then give Demith the afternoon against Anaheim, then Demko back against Vegas. Gives him 4 games of rest between games.

Silovs is going to go in after DeSmith gets pulled from a game and end up putting a sub 1.50 GAA and .930SV% through the next month leading to a "goaltender controversy!!!!!"
It might quietly be boon that the the Canucks are motivated to keep their defensive game honed down the stretch, at home, with lots of practice... good stretch to make it easier on their goalies. They haven't allowed more than 25 shots against since they played the Penguins.

No need to rush Demko back, have the long homestand and lots of days of rest coming up.
Also already picked up DeSmith in my pool

Glad (I presume) its not the hip/groin again.Takes him out of the flow.
Hope he gets a string of games before playoffs so he can be back to normal.

Vancouver is incredibly fortunate that the annual Demko injury occurred during a stretch with plenty of rest days between games. Only one back-to-back on April 2nd/3rd. And Demko should be back by then.
I would imagine DeSmith starts them all. But if Silovs is given a start, those games against eastern teams (Capitals 3/16, Sabres 3/19, or Habs 3/21) seem like the obvious place to get him in some action.

Good its not serious, and I can rest assured that if I go back in this thread I won’t find multiple examples of players go from day to day > week to week > ltir…
This Demko injury is almost "Mark Stone-esque" given the perfect timing. Up 4-0 in the last game before the lightest part of the schedule. Screams load management to me. Good on them if it's even partly true.
Best case scenario is that Silovs/DeSmith split the next 5 or 6 games and Silovs shows he's the front runner for the back-up role next season.

Is there a way to anti-sticky this thread, so it always appears at the bottom of the stickied threads?
Every time I see it bumped to the top, my heart stops as I imagine yet another Canuck has died at the hands of medical staff.
No offence to Eddie. We miss you, and always will.

To add to this, change the colour of the post game thread tag so its not the same as the confirmed with link tag.
How many times I think there is a trade because I see bright green at the top of the sticky threads.

You should become colour blind like me, then you won't have that problem.
Demko's injury might or might not be 'perfect timing' but it's far removed from the Mark Stone-Tomas Hertl machinations in Vegas.
If Demko had gone down with injury BEFORE the TDL, they could have stashed him on LTIR for the rest of the season. Then with the $5m saving on his contract, gone out and addressed one or two big holes in their lineup. Who knows? Maybe they'd have had enough room for Guentzel or Tofoli.
Sure. I was thinking more about load management without needing to explain why he’s not playing.
My sources are telling me he could be out with two broken legs. Day to day, but the story is just developing...

Lose lose for Lindholm
Play through it and further risk his next contract with subpar performance or risk of increased damage
or…
sit out and everyone’s last memory of you going into fa is this awful stretch in VAN
think he’s best sitting out if this is serious given what’s at stake
but from a player perspective, maybe he values going for it more than anything else. who knows
